RNA aptamers that specifically bind to a 16S ribosomal RNA decoding region construct.
RNA-RNA recognition is a critical process in controlling many key biological events, such as translation and ribozyme functions. The recognition process governing RNA-RNA interactions can involve complementary Watson-Crick (WC) base pair binding, or can involve binding through tertiary structural interaction. Hence, it is of interest to determine which of the RNA-RNA binding events might emerge...
متن کاملThe Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA leader nut region interacts specifically with mature 16S RNA.
All ribosomal RNAs are preceded by leader sequences not present in the final ribosome particles. The highly conserved leader sequences of bacterial rRNAs are known to be important for the folding and assembly of functional ribosomes. Very likely transient binding of the leader to mature parts of the 16S RNA occurs during transcription. To better understand the mechanistic details of these funct...
متن کاملRNA aptamers that bind flavin and nicotinamide redox cofactors.
RNA molecules that specifically bind riboflavin (Rb) and beta-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) have been isolated by in vitro selection. A simple structural motif containing intramolecular G-quartets was found to bind tightly to oxidized riboflavin (Kd = 1-5 micromolar). DNA versions of the consensus sequence also bind, but with weaker affinity. DMS protection experiments show that the quar...
متن کاملRibosomal protein S7 from Escherichia coli uses the same determinants to bind 16S ribosomal RNA and its messenger RNA.
Ribosomal protein S7 from Escherichia coli binds to the lower half of the 3' major domain of 16S rRNA and initiates its folding. It also binds to its own mRNA, the str mRNA, and represses its translation. Using filter binding assays, we show in this study that the same mutations that interfere with S7 binding to 16S rRNA also weaken its affinity for its mRNA. This suggests that the same protein...
متن کاملThe 16S ribosomal RNA mutation database (16SMDB)
The 16S ribosomal RNA mutation database (16SMDB) provides a list of mutated positions in 16S ribosomal RNA from Escherichia coli and the identity of each alteration. Information provided for each mutation includes: (i) a brief description of the phenotype(s) associated with each mutation; (ii) whether a mutant phenotype has been detected by in vivo or in vitro methods; (iii) relevant literature...
